It first opened as a small-town café named “Pottsville Café.” It was the only the only place to eat in town. It predates the truck plaza and the Shell station. When the original café closed it was turned into a church called Trinity Fellowship Baptist Church. When the church came to a close in the late 1990s, The building and the property repurchased by somebody who wanted to turned back into a café, renaming it to “Pottsville Country Café.”
This café sits on the edge of Pottsville for sale and abandoned. This local business probably closed in the early 2000’s.
It’s sad to see small town restaurants over run by bigger fast food chains. Hopefully through these pictures, This Café can have memories that live on forever.

I live in Pottsville and the buildings (house and cafe) and land were sold within the last year and the old cafe was demolished (renovation was just unfeasible cost-wise) and a new gas station/convenience store now sits on the site. The cabinet shop (Ratzlaff Cabinets) is still there and he still does custom work.
how much and the laws
Right on 64 hwy. Cemetery behind it.
There used to be a cabinet door shop right beside this place in an underground bldg. it could still be there. I'm sure they would have info if they're still there
Yes I remember eating breakfast there many times with my mom.
these are really neat!
I'M SO glad I found this site.
thanks for posting!
